The Chicago Bears knew they had to find help at wide receiver for Justin Fields. GM Ryan Poles had one problem. His resources were stretched thin. There wasn’t much money to spend in free agency, and only five draft picks. So he had to get creative. That meant he couldn’t afford to take any big swings. He’d have to bargain shop instead. His most notable addition on the veteran market was Byron Pringle.<\/p>\n
On the surface, it made sense. Poles knew the former undrafted free agent from Kansas City. He was coming off a solid season with the Chiefs where he went over 500 yards with five touchdowns. However, things got off on the wrong foot almost from the jump. He was arrested down in Florida for doing donuts on the street with his young child in the back of the car. Then he an injury in training camp that kept out most of August.<\/p>\n
Things didn’t improve much when the real games started. Through three weeks, Pringle has three catches for 33 yards. Now that will likely be the end of his contributions for the foreseeable future as the Bears placed him on Injured Reserve with a calf injury.<\/p>\n
